If you do not have Outlook, sync the old device to Goggle Calendar and Contacts and then sync the BB to both. I also use T-Bird and the calendar, Lightning) and sync the calendar to Google Calendar. Works very well. Email will not sync to anything, unless you are on BES.

Thanks for your answer.

Do I really need Google Calendar and Contacts? My idea was not to give my data to this company and to keep all data on my local devices and off the cloud.

Can I sync with just Lightning?

How do I store notes on my PC then? Thunderbird and Lightning don't have notes. Or is there a thunderbird add-on that I missed?

Can the Blackberry sync to a simple folder or folder structure with TXT files? I could then work with the Notes with any text editor.
